Connection Recovery Support Group

NAMI Connection is for adults who have been diagnosed with or who suspect they may have a mental illness. This support group is facilitated by people who have mental illnesses and is meant to help people share their challenges and successes of coping with mental illness. There is no need to register – come when you feel like you need someone to talk to or want to support others with similar difficulties.

We have 2 groups facilitated by NAMI UV members. One is on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays at 6 pm.  The other is every Thursday at 7 pm.

Visit them on Facebook to join the Connection group.  https://www.facebook.com/groups/604019807391801/
